How a Personal Sales Assistant App Increases Sales Using Humor

"A sales representatives day is filled with tight schedules, tension, pressure to perform, calls, call-backs, new lead follow-up, old lead follow-up, an aggravating sales manager, customer complaints, emails, presentations and oh yes an occasional appointment  and stupid stuff the corporate office layers in just for fun.  All of this makes it difficult to keep track of the most important part: new business activities.  Adam Honig, CEO and Founder of Spiro Technologies shares with SLMA host Jim Obermayer how an app for the iPhone and Android users powers a humor loaded sales personal assistance program to motivate sales reps and help them with their everyday work. Hint: the app uses a customer built-in machine learning engine that leverages existing data in Salesforce, email and calendars.
